well.. here are the pics finally! =) Australia was so much fun!
Day One
We arrived at Sydney in the morning.. quite tiring cuz i watched Titanic 2 times on board the plane and didn't get any sleep. needed my coffee.. luckily dad wanted some coffee too so we headed over to buy coffee.. thank God for coffee... =) the weather was quite bad was drizzling the whole day .. but apparently we are quite lucky to see rain cuz it only rains 28 days a year in Sydney..
First stop! Bondi beach.. but it was raining and we were all so tired no one cared to get off the bus to take a look.. what a waste!
Then we went to Mrs Macguire's ( did i spell it right?) chair... and we looked out and could see the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge from there..
After looking from far we headed down to see the Syndey Opera House close up.. still raining.. terrible weather.. but take a look at the toilet.. even the toilet inside is so artsy.. hahaa.. and the pattern of the tiles on the outside..
after that we went to some OZtech thingy where they give you a virtual tour of Australia... quite cool.. the thing actually spins from scene to scene. then we went up to the top of the very tall tower.. quite amazing.. there are binoculars there.. and i could see right into the houses of the people..quite funny.. hahaha..
after that we had lunch on board a cruise. i really don't understand why we must sit so many cruises. i get sea sick quite badly... the cruise was called Captain Cook Cruises.. wahahhaa.. funny.. then after that we went to a wildlife park.. where all the wildlife are having a holiday so none were bothered with entertaining us.. quite boring.. not as good as the other one we went to the next day.. but oh well.. it was Christmas eve... i honestly forgot what happened after that.. i think we went back to the hotel and went for dinner after that..
in Chinatown, every single freaking restaurant must have the word "long" in their name.. quite funny.. "jiu long" nine dragons "xin long" star dragon... everything dragon..........
Day two (Christmas day)
busy busy day! woke up freaking early in the morning to go on a Blue Mountain tour.. quite worth it.. the tour was great.. the tour guide actually spoke proper English! ( a relief from Ben's mumbling)
First we went to the Olympic stadium. tah dah.. look! the whole park is sooo big! seriously.. enormous... so spacious..
then we went to a wildlife park.. it was quite an experience.. we were walking right beside the animals.. as in .. no fences anything.. the wallabees were hopping right beside us.. and you can touch the koalas for as long as you want.. so fun! so many birds.. so scary..
have you ever seen a peacock spread its feathers? well.. it was beautiful..
have you ever seen peacocks fucking? its just plain terrifying.. the peacock's was like vigourously.......... humping the female.. its fan still open.. imagine...ew.
we then headed up to the blue mountains.. quite a sight.. so magnificent.. so many mountains.. you are at a height where you can reach out and probably touch a cloud! and we were lucky to see the waterfall due to the rain the day before. cuz of the drought the waterfall had dried out..
The Three Sisters
The Orphan Rock
Spot the rainbowS!
my family on Blue Mountain
we also rode on the world's scarriest cable car.. the bottom of the car is see through! OMG. and the wind was shaking the whole cabin can?!!? so scary.. then we sat on the steepest cable car.. it was like.. 20 degress downwards k.. like a rollercoaster.. quite terrifying.. but so fun! haha.. and we went for a walk in the rainforest.. all the fresh air and scent of eucalyptus trees.. ahhhh!!! so refreshing!
long long day... after lunch we headed back to the port to take a ferry back to town.. but after waiting for half an hour.. the tour leader finally realised something was amiss and the ferry should have arrived long ago.. HA. they canceled the ferry! we had to take the bus back all the way to town..
had dinner that night at Darling Harbour.. the alcohol policy in Sydney is so strict can?! even with parental supervision I cannot drink wine with dinner.. the waitress was like.. can i see your ID? i was like WTH?! spoiled my mood.. oh well.. lots of seagulls at Darling Harbour.... so scary..
Day Three
woke up freaking early again.. and we went to Port Stephen which is a THREE HOUR drive away... sat until my butt became flat...went to ride on the sand dunes.. going down was fun.. but.. the fun stops when you reach the bottom.. climbing up is no easy feat.. seriously.. its like climbing mount everest.. but fun none the less!
after that we went on a cruise.. and had lunch onboard.. (see? cruise again! i was quite scared that i'd puke) anyhow.. the service there was kinda bad.. a bit racist.. they treat Asians as greedy low class people.. when i bet they can't even afford a trip out of Port Stephen.. oh well..
beautiful right?
saw dolphins! so cute can! they were swimming around the boat.. happily splashing around doing their own thing.. i wanna be a dolphin! haha.. pics of the dolphin above... not too many shots.. cuz they were swimming so fast i had no time to react..
after the cruise.. another long ride back to the hotel.. dinner at a chinese seafood restaurant..
Day four
another long bus ride.. to do some wine and cheese tasting..
at the place we had lunch we had to walk up this path.. when you walk past you cannot miss the smell of the roses.. sooooooooooooooooo xiang!
as usual.. my mom had to slip wine to me.. cuz of Austrailia's very strict alcohol rule.. bought alot of candies though.. the candy shop was quite cute.. alot of naughty candy! haha..
then we went to this garden thing.. where there was this talk about reptiles.. ew! seriously. ew. scary can?!
flowers!beautiful flowers!
dinner was at the casino.. it was a buffet kinda like sakura's buffet.. only.. MUCH MUCH MORE FOOD! so much food k. the people literally PILED their plates with prawns can?! so scary.. i would have piled my plate with prawns if i didn't have to peel them... wahhaaa..
Day Five
woke up relatively late.. went shopping with my mother at the Paddy Market... spent about 110 aussie bucks (132 Sing Dollars) on clothes, bikinis, a dress, magazines and a tie pin for darling.. shooooopinggg! so shiok k.. the whole holiday i have been fighting the itch to shop k.. hahaa.. ahhh... retail therapy..
after shopping.. we went to the seafood market.. at first i thougt that a sea food market would be like a wet market with RAW seafood.. but nope! the market is occupied by many restaurants serving FRESH seafood.. the oysters there were seriously FRESH.. usually i don't take oysters.. but i took like.. 6 there.. and lobster baked in cheese! and prawns.. and fish! AHHH... i love seafood!!! seriously!
look at the lobsters, oysters and prawns!!! so big!
random pics..
after that satisfying trip to the seafood market, we headed to the airport said bye bye to Ben.. and headed over to get some Krispy Kreme doughnuts.. OMG. HEAVEN! i love the strawberry one.. ahhhhhhhh.. salivating already.. we bought a dozen home.. spent the rest of the coins on magazines.. and on the long flight home watched Titanic 3 times.. ah.. a hopeless romatic...
Day six
i get up and rub the sleep off my eyes.. and i'm thrusted back into reality.. ha. how cruel!
